Quick Update on the Status of Naked PR

Posted by Jennifer Mattern on April 20th, 2008 in Naked PR


As you can see, I recently updated the theme here at Naked PR. After taking a few weeks to focus on other projects, I’ve decided it’s time to get things moving again here. You can expect me back to regular posting in early- to mid-May if everything moves on schedule.

In the meantime, if you happen to come across any problems with the new theme, do leave a comment and let me know, so I can fix it - I haven’t run into any trouble yet with either Firefox or IE, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

When Naked PR is officially up and running again, you can expect some changes… but still plenty of good old-fashioned rants… yep… lots.

I’m currently contacting a few folks to set up interviews to go up after the relaunch on a couple of issues from media issues and education to handling negative criticism on the Web. I’m also consulting with a few people, preparing for a post series (rather than the originally-planned report) on SEO for PR professionals.

Edit: Just to give you a heads up on some of the interviews coming up, we’ll have:

  • Joe Beaulaurier of PRweb discussing how you can effectively deal with criticism of your company on the Web,
  • Andreas Charalambous, lecturer in film and media studies, discussing acceptance and avoidance of new social media technologies,
  • I’ll be revisiting the social media news release with Todd Defren,
  • and I’ll be chatting with pro blogger Darren Rowse about bloggers vs. traditional journalists.

Fun stuff.

I’ll also be reaching out to more of the webmaster audience that I get here with informational and tutorial-style pieces instead of focusing on PR and social media issues quite as exclusively as I was for a while.

I’m also planning to have a little more “fun” with this blog moving forward - frankly calling out BS can get rather dull at times. But more on that later….

    Yahoo! I thank the gods you are recharged and relaunching this particular blog (although I know you’ve been busy with others). The (macro) PR blogosphere (i.e., both the real one and the pretend one) has been quite tired and/or low-output generating of late. Looking for some Naked PR to kick-start the more valuable parts of it back to life again.

    Oh sure Judy… Put the pressure on. ;)

    If these are video interviews, please post it on YouTube and send us a link. I want to embed it in our PR video section.

    Webmaster,

    Nope. They’re not video interviews. And if I do decide to add video to the site in the future, it would be much more exclusive to Naked PR, and not posted on YouTube. Sorry.
